Type of exercise involves activities such as pushing against fixed surface?
Isometric
Is a bench press an isometric exercise?
No, calisthenics involve working out with ones body weight, such as pull ups, pushups, etc. Isometric exercises involve no movement and staying in a static position.

Which types of muscles do isometric concentrations?
All skeletal muscles can do an isometric contraction. An isometric contraction involves a static position,of a muscle in a position of its function, against resistance. The joint angle and muscle length does not change. For example, if you were to flex your shoulder, and hold it in that static position or hold it, while resisting an external force that is trying to push your shoulder down into extension, that would be an isometric contraction.

What kind of activity is pressing your palm against the wall with full force?
Isometric
23 What is the difference between isometric and isotonic exercises?
Isometric exercises are exercises that are done statically, meaning there is no range of motion while training. The muscles are engaged against a resistance, but do not move. Examples of isometric exercises: The plank for abs, wall sits (sitting against a wall and holding the position), calf raises in which you remain static at the top of the lift. Isotonic exercises cause muscles to contract or extend while engaging resistance. This includes bicep curls, push ups, squats, and most other exercises.

What is muscle setting?
Low-intensity isometric contractions performed against little to no resistance.
What do you call the action when one muscle works against another muscle?
Isometric exercise.
Muscular contraction is defined as a contraction which moves against a constant resistance?
isometric contraction
What type of muscle contraction occurs when force is exerted against an immovable object?
isometric
